Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 電機工程學系 === 85 === In this research, we will design and fabricate a methane microsensor . We design a new silicon based gas sensor structure, silicon as the substrate material, a heater, a temperature sensor, and utilize a catalyst to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of specific gas sensing. The basic principle is to measure the heat generation as a result of catalytic chemical reaction between the sensing material and the gas to be sensed. The sensor will consist of a heater, a temperature, a gas sensing functional thin film, and a thin film catalyst. The key technologies is KOH anisotropic etching and etching through. All these elements of the sensor are deposited on the silicon substrate which has a thin membrane for appropriate thermal isolation to have good device performance.
